Annoying new sounds on my 2007 Civic

[Sunshine]

I discovered that my 2007 Civic LX sedan when put in reverse will sometimes make a single clicking sound. It's quite loud too. It started happening last week. It doesn't always happen though. Anyone here experience this problem?

On another note, for the very first time, last week, when I started the car, the engine made a pretty loud squeaking sound! Engine oil is at 90% too. I've had my engine shake a bit during startup, but I never experience squeaking until last week. I started the engine today and yesterday but I couldn't duplicate the squeaking sound.

The squeaking could be from the drive belts slipping. Maybe condensation was on the belts and caused the squeaking.

When you put it into reverse if its an R18 auto , it will make 2 distinc "CLACK" noises, these valves in the tranny are very loud. if you go from P to R to D when its cold it make a loud screech, well at least mine did till i changed the ATF

Holy shit my wife has been telling me that this happens to her but I've never been able to duplicate it. She says that when it makes that sound it won't start and she has to turn the key back to the off position and try again... Is this what you're talking about?

I think he is refering to AT valve body noise. If you car doesnt start, then take it to the dealer.

I'm referring to the starting problem.... My wife talks about this all the time, but I have never been able to duplicate the problem. I drive the car a lot and if I can't duplicate it then God knows the dealer can't either. She says that when she turns her key sometimes she gets a "screeching" sound but the car doesn't start.

it it's a loud screeching sound, i bet she's turning the ignition while the engine is already running, not while the engine is off.

The sound is most likely from the brake pads sliding up or down when they are cold. This is normal it allows for the brake pads to expand when warm or hot and the sound is gone until they are cold again. Every Honda that I know of that has "Honda Brake Pads" does this........don't worry its normal. I am a Honda Tech and I hear these complaints almost everyday.

If this is not it and you know its not then....

Sunshine where do you live and how cold is it there? I could look up some things to see if Honda knows about the noise from the transmission.
